Smooth Flite Setup Hints
Setting up Flaps with a single TX channel
In this Hint we will talk about how to apply a single input channel to control flaps.
We will use conventions of a brief Explanation and
[The steps

pages to achieve the outcome]
Method.
On the TX, assign a single channel to flaps.
Route the TX flap input channel to 2 Smooth Flite servo outputs. One output will be for the left flap and
the other for the right flap.

I/O Routing]
HINT:
If you are using 4 servos for flaps then simply assign 4 servo outputs.
Connect one flap servo
(left or right does not matter. This will be the primary flap and we will match all
other flap outputs to this primary flap via the Smooth Flite system).
Set the flap positions on the TX to
flaps off, half and full as required.
HINT: We generally set flaps to half initially so as to not over
-
drive the servo.
Sub Trim the flap closed, half and full positions for the primary flap

for this particular
physical flap. You will be in the Sub Trim page for the assigned Rudder where you can perform Sub
Trim, Reverse and Endpoint matching]
Hint: Do the above process starting with the TX Flap switch (or Dial) is in the half position so as to not
overdrive the servo.
Reverse (if necessary), sub trim and adjust endpoints so the primary flap operates to your requirements.
Once you are happy with the primary flap operation then connect the second flap and perform the same
process to match the movement of the secondary flap. You can also use our proprietary 15 point
matching on the secondary flap to precisely match it to the primary flap.

Tap the
“

”
for this
particular physical flap.
Tap
“15
point Servo Match
”]
Hint: We set up our primary flap on a 3 position switch and for the setup of the second flap we
temporarily transfer to a slider so we can slowly bring the flap down and adjust with 15 point
matching to get super matched flaps. After the matching is complete we reassign the flaps to a 3 stage
switch.
For additional flap servos just repeat the process above.
Outcome
You will have a single TX channel controlling a complexed array of flap servos.
